# Eisen's $18.5M: NYC Regtech Bets That Compliance Ops Should Run Like Software

> Eisen raised $18.5M including a $10M Series A for AI-enabled compliance operations — escheatment, disbursements, and 1099 workflows automated.

Nobody wakes up excited about escheatment. **That's exactly why Eisen raised $18.5M.**

### What Eisen does
Financial institutions drown in **compliance operations** — unclaimed property (escheatment), disbursements, 1099 reporting. These workflows are **error-prone, manual, and audit-sensitive**. Eisen sells **managed compliance ops infrastructure** with AI assistance — not another dashboard that exports CSVs.

### Cap table quality
- **Series A:** MissionOG ($10M)  
- **Seed:** Index Ventures ($8.5M)  
- **Also:** Cowboy Ventures, First Round, Homebrew, Restive  

When Index and First Round show up in regtech, they're betting on **repeatable workflow automation**, not novelty.

### Why May 2026 matters
Fintech funding is tilting toward **infrastructure and compliance** alongside consumer apps. Eisen sits next to Sardine and Checker in the "make finance actually work" bucket.

### Practical takeaway
**Founders:** Unsexy compliance beats sexy demos when selling to banks.  
**Investors:** NYC regtech with **MissionOG + Index** is a strong signal for enterprise sales discipline.
